At a time when people are being made aware of the need to preserve and conserve all things green, the number of homeless in British cities is reaching a new record. As agriculture surpluses increase and the need to restructure the rural economy becomes more apparent the debate on whether to maintain rural housing in villages is becoming one of the most pressing and emotive of social issues. With the widening of this debate, government policy and the present `gentrification' of the British countryside are also brought into question.
In Housebuilding in the British Countryside the author addresses both sides of this debate in depth. He also examines the effects of government policy - the winners and losers - and the reshaping of the rural economy and character. This book is a particularly timely contribution to the discussion, providing a clear and analytical perspective in a debate that is becoming increasingly emotional. The book's introduction explains the framework and the policies that shape the subject. It is the most up-to-date enquiry of its kind, covering new facts and developments of the last ten years and will be essential reading for researchers, students of planning, housing, land economy, estate management, geography and sociology, policy makers and those generally interested in the future of the British countryside.
